Stand By Me

[serene]

This gave me the shivers and made me a little weepy. Now, I'm a little sick* today, so I might be ultra-susceptible, but still. Wow. Go watch. Thanks to epi_lj for the link.

*Medication side effects, most likely. Unpleasant, but not scary. Nothing to worry about.

Wow pretty much nails it, it brought tears to my eyes.
Hope you feel better soon.

I LOVE the idea and the voices and music. About 1/2 way through, I started wondering where the women singers and/or musicians were. Finally there were some background women singers, but that was it. That took a little of the "wow" out of it for me. That pesky inner critic just wouldn't shut up.

I had the same thought, but decided that until I've seen a few more of their songs, I won't judge (since, after all, the original is a stone-cold classic, and is itself sung by a man).
